RAW color grading on your phone and in Studio
CinemaKit includes a dedicated grading panel for RAW and recorded video clips. Adjust the image on your phone, or continue in CinemaKit Studio on a computer with a 32-bit floating point WebGPU workflow.
REC 709LogStart with image correction
Set white balance and exposure before building a creative look. Check highlight detail and shadow noise, then adjust contrast and saturation. Changes to a RAW take are part of its development; grading an already processed video starts from a different image. RAW does not guarantee recovery of clipped highlights.
Use LUTs with the right input
CinemaKit supports 3D LUTs. A LUT expects a particular input color space and tonal encoding, so do not apply a Log-to-display transform to footage that is already display-ready. In Studio, use scopes and curves to check your adjustments rather than judging only the browser preview.
Export for the next step
On iPhone, graded clips export to ProRes or HEVC. Android exports HEVC or H.264, with 10-bit HEVC where the device encoder supports it. Studio offers its own desktop export choices, including CinemaDNG and ProRes. Keep the RAW original if you may revisit development or match another edit later.
